Scout declares that “Maycomb was itself again” in this chapter. In what ways is Maycomb the same as it was before the Tom Robinson trial? In what ways is it different? What must happen in order for a community to “become itself again” after a traumatic or divisive event?

I think Maycomb wend back to their racially segregated ways. Most white people still held the same racist beliefs. The difference is that, in their hearts, they knew Tom Robinson was innocent. They knew that they were directly or indirectly responsible for his death.

I think maycomb went back to being a rasict quit little town where nothing really happened. The diffrence is that scout and jem have matured and notice the hypocrisy in their town and bob ewell is against everyone involved in a case.
